lyrics

Alejandra's crying and I can't keep my own eyes dry.
Her mom plants flowers, pink impatiens.
Her friends wonder why she tries, and my soul is there.
Luís Enrique signs his drawing con mucho cariño.
Language is unnecessary with only the sky out the window
and how can I not love him?

I have no choice in the matter. I would not want a choice in the matter.
Something in me knows that I am not free 'til you are.

Have you ever stayed awake and mourned the future loss of lives,
or has your soul met another in passing
and known, right here, the pain inside?
Because I can never be holy until I acknowledge your sanctity
and there is something beyond me to which the only response
is just to breathe and live with divine urgency.

I have no choice in the matter. I would not want a choice in the matter.
Something in me knows that I am not free, not truly,
until every extant soul is relevant, 'til inward and outward exist dually,
until a lovely display of divinity is human.
